Congratulations Stavanger Brass the 2020 Norwegian Champions
Stavanger Brass were crowned winners of the Elite Division of NM Brass, held this weekend in the beautiful and impressive Grieghallen in Bergen, Norway. Stavanger and MD Allan Withington are off to a terrific start winning this first major contest of the year and in doing so have also secured an invitation to the EBBC 2021 in Malmö.
Stavnager gave a masterful performance of the set test piece, ‘Myth Forest’ by Stig Nordhagen on Friday, before consolidating the victory on Saturday with their performance of ‘The Turing Test’ as the own choice piece. Manger Musikklag were awarded second place with Eikanger Bjorsvik Musikklag, the 2019 champions, taking third prize.
Congratulations also go to Ila Brass, Orskog Brass, Bergen Brass Band, Moen Musikkforening and Fla Musikkorps, winners of their respective sections.
A full and in depth review of the event will appear in the next issue of BBW.
